"elder brother!"

The girl screamed in panic and cried loudly.

Suddenly, a stone was smashed out from beside him, and the head of the wild dog was pounced on, making it scream. Then, a small figure suddenly rushed out from the side, holding the wooden stick with both hands,

He rushed towards the wild dog.

"elder brother!"

Looking at the small figure, the girl was so excited that she burst into tears.

After a while, the wild dog was driven away by the boy and threw the stick down. The boy quickly ran towards the girl.

The little face was covered with tears and there were light bloodstains. The knees and feet were still bleeding, and the little hand was shaking the skin and the girl was trembling with pain.

Seeing this, the boy felt very distressed and quickly said, "What are you doing when you run out!"

Thinking that the boy was blaming himself, the girl was so aggrieved that she shed tears again.

Squat down, gently held the girl's little hand, and gently wiped off the soil on her hand. The boy whispered: "Don't cry."

The girl stopped crying obediently, but she still kept sobbing and tears.

Wiping the tears from the girl's face, the boy gently hugged her in his arms.

"Aren't you scared?" the boy asked.

The girl sobbed a few times and swallowed even more: "I'm afraid, Xi'er is afraid."

The boy patted the girl's back and comforted her: "I'm not afraid, my brother is here, I'll protect you."

He threw himself into the boy's arms, and the boy comforted him for a while before the girl calmed down.

"Why did it come out?" the boy asked.

Hearing this, the girl showed grievance again and said, "Xi'er thought his brother didn't want me anymore, so she came out to find her brother. It's so scary here. Xi'er didn't know where his brother was, so she kept calling her brother. Xi'er was so scared.

.”

The boy felt distressed when he heard this.

"I'll come out to pick some fruit for you, and I'll go back soon." The boy said.

As he said that, the boy found a yellow fruit in his pocket.

Peeled the girl and fed a piece into the girl's mouth. The boy asked, "Is it delicious?"

The girl narrowed her eyes and said subconsciously: "Sour."

But as soon as he said it, he quickly said, "It's delicious."

The boy smiled and said, "Well, this fruit is sour. I call it sour fruit, but it fills the stomach and can be taken care of after eating it."

As he said that, the boy ate a small piece himself, and his eyes were so sore that he narrowed his eyes.

After eating the fruit, the boy carried the girl on his back and came to a stream.

Carefully cleaned the wounds on the girl's hands, feet and knees, and washed her face.

Wash off the blood and stains on the little face, revealing a delicate little face.

He has delicate facial features and a clear face, which is very cute.

"Xier is so beautiful." The boy said.

The girl showed shyness.

The boy smiled, and then suddenly some mud was stained with his fingers and applied it to the girl's little face.

The girl was stunned and looked at the boy and pouted.

"It's better." The boy said.

The girl was puzzled and blinked.

"Xi'er is so beautiful. If she is seen by a bad person, she will capture Xi'er." The boy said.

A trace of fear appeared on the girl's face.

The boy smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, my brother will protect you."

The girl smiled sweetly.

......

On the way back, the boy carried the girl through abandoned villages, through wilderness fields, and through weeds taller than adults.

The girl was lying quietly on the boy's back, and her little face was filled with a sweet smile.

The girl's vague memory seems to have not been so happy for a long time.

"Brother, don't leave Xi'er in the future, Xi'er is so scared." The girl said.

The boy gasped and said, "Yeah, I will take Xier with me wherever I go from now on."

Xi'er smiled sweetly, stretched out her little hand, and fed a sour fruit in the boy's mouth.

After walking and walking, they stopped and walked for a long time before they returned to the temple.

The boy sat on the ground and then lay on the ground, so tired that he really didn't want to move.

Looking at the blood oozing from the boy's back, the girl's eyes burst into tears and felt so distressed.

Carefully touching the boy's back, the girl asked nervously, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts!" said the boy, "That bad guy is so cruel. He has to keep it for ten days and half a month to get better."

The girl's tears flowed down.

"It's all a blaming Xi'er. If it weren't for Xi'er, my brother wouldn't have been beaten." The girl said crying.

The boy struggled to get up, shaved the corners of the girl's eyes, and said, "Don't cry, it will be bad if you cry."

The girl threw herself into the boy's arms and refused to cry again, but tears still couldn't help but shed.

......

I feel sorry for the wound under the girl's feet that has not healed. The boy has not gone to the city to beg for the past few days, but he will go out to pick wild fruits every day.

Every time before going out, the boy would repeatedly remind the girl not to run around. He was worried that she would be afraid of being alone in the temple, and he would return to the temple as quickly as possible. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely and was out of breath.

After going back, I had to lie on the ground and rest for a while.

A few days later, the area where the girl's hands, feet and knees were also scabbed. Looking at the straw sandals made of thatched under her feet, the girl was so happy.

"Brother, Xi'er's feet no longer hurt. Today I'll go out with you." The girl said, pulling the boy's arm.

The boy thought for a while, but did not refuse, and then said, "Then let's go to the city today to see what delicious food we can find."

In the dilapidated old city, two small figures wandered around.

He was dirty and looked pitiful. But passers-by were used to it, and no one looked at it more.

The girl's little hands kept holding the boy's arm tightly, for fear of getting separated from the boy, and her little face was always nervous.

On the side of the road, two children knelt on the ground and begged. In the alley, two children walked in a daze.

After a whole day, when night fell, I got a piece of pancake left on the roadside stall.

Two of them were half of them, eating happily and smiling sweetly.

On the way back, maybe it was too tired. The girl couldn't walk. After the boy carried her on her back, the girl fell asleep soon after.

In the dilapidated temple, the boy put the girl tiredly on the thatched bed laid for her. Just as he was about to leave, the girl suddenly woke up and grabbed the boy's hand.

"Brother, I'm afraid." The girl said.

"Don't be afraid, brother is right next to you." The boy comforted.

The girl still refused to let go and said, "Brother sleeps with me."

The boy smiled helplessly, then lay down, and hugged the girl in his arms with his body.

......

As winter approaches, two children are close together at a certain street corner, trembling with cold.

"Brother, I'm cold." The girl said in a trembling voice.

The boy quickly hugged the girl in his arms and moved to the stall where the stove was planted.

Looking at the freshly baked pancakes on the stall, the girl couldn't help swallowing.

"Go and go, don't be with me."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and he drove him away with impatient expressions.

"Uncle." The girl begged pitifully.

The middle-aged man ignored it and just turned his head and sighed. There were too many children like begging in this old city. It was not that they were cold-hearted, but because the world was too desolate.

As night approaches, the stall owner takes over. The little boy and the little girl look at the shadow of the departure of the stall in disappointment, feeling endless loss in her heart.

"Brother, let's go back." The girl whispered.
